The definition of the term WEIRD by delineating what each letter stands for makes sense. It was an interesting expreince of for me earlier in the day when one of my clients whose parents are Nigerian immigrants and who was born and brought up here was reacting to her previous therapists suggestion that she is possibly suffering from PTSD. My client said that African parents tend to be stricter and relatively more punitive, however, she does not think that her childhood was truamatic. This conversation came alive for me reading this article that tries to communicate that human experiences vary widely and it is hard to make generalizations about a lot of topics.
